Comment 61 for bug 250211

John Pye> (a) recognise how people are annoyed by this bug and rank it more important than "Low"

I just upgraded to intrepid, and I considered it *very* annoying. Why? Because blinking automatically lets the human eye focus stuff. And my led is on my Dell Notebook, just under my screen, I was very annoyed by it.

I'm really crestfallen this is rated as low out of several reasons (may be a little offtopic). 1) This are the things people notice when trying out a new operating system (linux instead of windows) and they rate all of linux bad to this. 2) To some degree they are right. HCI is still not its strength, and it doesn't seem of improtance when rated low. 3) Especially I thought Ubuntu was the linux distro that cared about the "normal" "non-geek" user. 4) This seems to be a pretty old issue, again I always thought open is about issues beeing resolved fast. 5) But this is once again an issue, where it shows, when you are not geeky enough to create a script in /etc/network/if-up.d/iwl-no-blink you best stay at windows or osx.

Ontopic: Thanks, as far as I can tell now: http://blog.drinsama.de/erich/en/linux/2008052101-iwlwifi-blinking.html did the job!
